Hey GuysYesterday after dueling someone who had a synchro deck I sat and thought about synchro monsters.Basically all u have to do is get a tuner and non-tuner monster out and u can special summon a powerhouse monsterAnd that got me thinking theres absolutely no catch to Synchro summoning But then i realized every great card or strategy in the game has a set back and I found out something most people don't know while synchro summoning

To Synchro summon sure all u need is a tuner and any non tuner monster but the combined levels of the two monsters must be exectly equal to that of the synchro moster.

I dont know how many times someone i have been dueling syncs a dark catapulter with a level 4 monster to summon stardust dragon although it has 8 stars and those add up to only 6

Ive seen many a player make this mistake from rookies to some of the best players I know.

If u dont belive me heres a direct quote from the offical 2010 rule book"Synchro monsters are placed in the extra deck, separate from the main deck. You can special summon a powerful Synchro Monster to the field n an instant just by using th elevels of your monsters. They can be synchro summoned from the extra deck by sending one face up tuner monster and any number of non-tuner monsters from your side of the field to the graveyard, when the sum of all their level is exactly equal to the level of the Synchro monster"

So I hope this helps people who dont know this rule and if u already knew this rule please tell others who don't about it, because many people have no idea and everyone everywhere deserves a fair match and it should be a priority u give them that chance.So till next time take care and play fair
